Well Known Distributions
We want to use computers to understand the following well known distributions.
Discrete distributions. In practice, it can only be integers and mostly nonnegative.
Binomial. Poisson.
Continuous distributions. In practice, it can only be values within an interval, including (-, ). Uniform. Normal. Exponential. Chi-square, t, and F . Gamma and Beta.

Let X be the random variables from the distribution. We need
How to generate X with n independent replications, called samples.
The computation of the mean and sample variance based on
the sample. For instance, let x1, ? ? ? , xn be the sample. Then,
the mean is
1 n
x? = n
xi
i =1
and the sample variance is
s2
=

where the standard error is s.

Sampling Distributions
Well Known Distributions
PMF (probability mass function) for discrete or PDF (probability density function) for continuous.
CDF:
F (t) = P(X t)
for any fixed t. Quantile: the inverse of CDF. Find the value t such that
P(X t) = q
for any fixed q (0, 1), often expressed as t = F -1(q).
I am going to talk these based on specific distributions.

Sampling Distributions
Well Known Distributions
Uniform
If the probability is only proportional to the length of the interval, then it is the uniform distribution.
Suppose that values can only be within the interval [1, 2]. Then, for any (a, b) [1, 2], there is
P{X (a, b)} = b - a , 2 - 1
which is denoted by
X Uniform[1, 2].
The standard case is 1 = 0 and 2 = 1. Please read my R code to understand (1) samples (2) CDF
(3) quantile.
